Moldova lifted the ban on the export of corn, but imposed a ban on the export of wheat and meslin flour.
This decision was approved by the Commission for Emergency Situations. In particular, from March 12 and for the entire period of the state of emergency in Moldova, the export of wheat and meslin flour is prohibited. The Ministry of Economy is obliged to inform the World Trade Organization about this measure. At the same time, the Commission lifted the ban imposed on March 1 on the export of corn and its derivatives, with the exception of corn seeds intended for sowing. During the state of emergency, the export of such products will be carried out with the presentation by the exporting company of a declaration on the personal responsibility of the manufacturer, in accordance with the approved form. The declaration will contain the following data: the name of the exporter, his contact details, the volume of exported products, the name of the manufacturer (and not the intermediary) from whom the goods were purchased for export. It is envisaged that the completion of this declaration limits the exporter's right to a VAT refund on the specified volume of corn exports. The Commission on Emergency also ordered the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry to formulate its proposals by the end of March on establishing mechanisms for declaring and correctly assessing the volumes of grain harvested in Moldova. // 11.03.2022 - InfoMarket
